CNN’s Joe Johns promoted to senior Washington correspondent

From CNN Washington Bureau Chief Sam Feist: “We are thrilled to announce that Joe Johns has been promoted to CNN’s Senior Washington Correspondent. In his time at CNN and particularly during his time as our Justice correspondent, Joe has proven to be an outstanding reporter, storyteller, and broadcaster. In recent months, in addition to relying on Joe’s coverage of Crime and Justice, we’ve also leaned on him for coverage of healthcare.gov, the IRS, Hillary Clinton’s political future, the Chris Christie controversy, and the list goes on. It has become clear that with a midterm election campaign and a presidential campaign on the horizon, we will need Joe’s storytelling and reporting in areas that extend far beyond the Justice Department. And Joe Johns is the perfect correspondent to fill this need.”
